In the horse room were all the ring
animals. trained stations. ponies,
etc. These were all burned.
In the cat room were the birds,

The citizens of Western Georgia
displayed their love of christianity a
few nights ago by tarring and feath-
ering two Mormon Elders, who were
engaged in proselyting in that Sec
ton, and chasing two others into the
woods by hounds. and keeping them
in the trees all night. The elders left
next day and six families disappear
ed with them, leaving six forsaken
homes, The elders next visited AL
ALBANIA, and while conducting meet
ing in a log school house fifty armed
men dragged them from the plat
form, carried them into the woods
and threatened to hang them. They
were finally released on the promise
to leave the State, and over 100 men
escorted them a portion of the way,
threatening to kill them if they re-
turned. This is summary way Of
solying the Mormon problem, and
yet if the same course had been adopt
ed in every section fifty years ago,
the government would have been
saved the trouble of dealing with
Mornonism in Utah, and one of the
greatest blots on civilization would
have been prevented. - Frederick

Mountain Lake Park.

The beautiful weather that we have
been having this fall has enabled US
to make considerable Improvement
in cleaning up the grounds and in
building.
The Bowman store building is now
under way and will soon be closed in.
The foundation for the large cottage
to he built by Miss Harris is about
completed and Will be ready for early
spring.
Mr.. Davis is having the newly de-
veloped part of the grounds surveyed
and plotted so that the desirable build
ing lots can be readily pointed out to
purchasers.
We had haG but little snow until
last Saturday night, when it fell to
the depth of three or four inches.
Our public school began last Mon
day, the 18th inst. with Mr.. God
frey Felty as teacher. There are
nearly fifty pupils to attend and yet
we have no school house. We have
been compelled to take just any room
we could get. But the time has come
that something must be done in some
way to meet the demand.

First Anniversary of the Y. G. CTS.

THE following neat little poem, written b.
a lady resident of Deer Park. was read at thu
First Anniversary Meeting of the 4oun,
Girls Christian Friendly Society of tina
town.
We promised here, one year ago,
For Christ" to use our utmost powers.
And by our every action, show
His presence in these hearts of ours.
We promised then, with earnest prayer,
To shun each impure thought and deed,
To show page, unstained and fair,
OF golden letters, all might read.
We promised, not for self alone,
Should be our anxious care and thought,
But, sisters dear. that every one
Should share the lessons He has taught.
We promised that our highest aim
Should be to aid, where'r we could.
Gladly uniting, in His name,
In deeds of mercy, great and good.
Can we affirm. in words sincere.
That we have kept this holy vow7
Can conscience show a record clear.
AS at his feet we humbly bow?
He knows, whose love will never fail,
How we in many ways have erred,
And human nature, weak and frail.
Tells us of duties oft deferred.
But something says, that through his grace
Our work has not been all in vain;
That self has taken a second place,
And nobler, purer feelings reign.
Then, trusting in His boundless Love,
We here, our solemn vows renew,
And ask blessing from above,
To keep us Jealous, pure and true.

Water is quite low, and some have
especially suffered from forest fires.
"Satan still has some mischief for idle
hands to do" and as a general thing
he is not very scrupulous as to how
it is done so he considers it good
job and somebody suffers. 1t is tru-
ly singular that individuals have no
more feeling for their fellowmen than
to cause so much loss of property and
of life. just simply to see some one
flight fire." or see the "woods burn"
Mr.. Hillery Johnson, presume, was
one of the heaviest losers from forest
fires in this section. If remember
correctly he had a half mile of rail
fence burned, and owing to the dry
condition of meadows and pasture
fields, he had hard work to save his
buildings and the remainder of his
fence. Not long since, Mr.. Joab
Friend, near here, had his barn burn
ed. The fire was noticed about 8 or
10 O'Clock in the morning, and it was
but few minutes until the entire
building was entirely enveloped in
flames. The barn was a large one,
well filled with feed. He also had
the finest lot of farming implements
owned in the community in the barn.
all destroyed. The cause of the fire
is unknown.
Friendsville was favored with a
visit from former resident. Mr.. w.
l., Coddington, not long since. Mr..
Coddington has been in Baltimore
for some time undergoing treatment
for white swelling, from which he
had been suffering for some years.
We were pleased to see the change in
his condition. When he left for Bal
timore he used crutches, but he gets
along splendidly now with cane.
Rev. w. J. Shapes stopped oyer
night in this place on his way to
Quarterly Meeting at Selbysport.
Mr.. Tase Casteel brought a fine
young wild turkey into Friendsville
this evening. He captured it upon

PhiladeIphta's Lepers.

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 20.-Mrs.
Miranda and her daughter. the lep-
ers, awoke this morning in the Mu-
nicipal Hospital. They surrendered
to the health authorities on Saturday.
The superintendent of the hospital
assigned them to large room on the
top floor, far removed from any pa
tents being treated for contagious
diseases.
This morning the mother began
unpacking and arranging their effects
as though she expected to make four
walls that shut them off from the
world their abiding place until their
dreaded disease triumphed. as it al
ways does, in death. Their breakfast
was sent them on a dumb waiter
shortly after 8 O'Clock, and the wo.
men removed it to their room and
spread it on the table for herself and
daughter. When they had eaten,
the dishes were returned empty and
the old colored cook expressed the
opinion that leprosy might be a
pretty bad thing, but it didn't take
peoples apDetites.
The poor little girl doesn't realize
her peril and is of cheerful dispo-
sition. When she aWoke she asked
Mamma, where are we noW?"
When told she said-"And this is
to be our home? Are we going to
stay here forever and never see any
body but each other"
The child longs for company and
life, and has always been at loss to
understand why her mother kept her
in such solitude, carefully secluded
from other children of her age. She
is as full of enthusiasm as nine.year-
old girl can be, and the disease has
not developed itself in her system
sufficiently to rob her of her vigor.
She has a memory of her life in
Brazil, remembers her brother there,
and is greatly disappointed that their
return to that place was baff1ed by
the ship surgeon, who had them Ian
ded at Newport News.
DR.. w. M. Welsh, the physician of
the hospital. paid them his first visit
and has begun the preparation of
notes as to the history of their sad
affiiction. He learned that the wo-
man has had the leprosy four years,
two of which she has lived quietly
in this city, en- little street back of
Girard College. DR.. Welsh said {:
"There can be no doubt that they are
afflicted with genuine leprosy. All
we know about the disease in this
country is what we have read. The
best medical minds agree that it is
not contagious like smallpox, but can
be contracted by person coming in
contact with any other so afflicted.
The fact that the lepers have lived
secluded two years.in this city, in
a thickly settled neighborhood,
strengthens the opinion that it is not
dangerously contagious"
Mrs. Miranda told the physician
that her reason for starting for Brazil
was because of the nOtoriety she had
been given here. and. finding she
could not accomplish this, she con-
cluded the best thing she could do
was to return to Philadelphia and
surrender herself to the health au-
thorities.

Railroad Travel in England.

The railroads themselves, their bridges
their stations, are incomparably better than
ours. They seem as if built for eternity
But there it eIds. The cars are short, SC
that they have but six wheels, two here
two there and two beyond, and one is OBJ
viously, of necessity, always over grind
ing wheel Then they oScillate so that
they almost always make one seasick, and
always give a feeling of nausea. My test
consists in conversation and reading, and
/ found that in the one | had TO raise nv
voice, and in the other my eyes became
tired, and It was impossible for me to read
with any degree of comfort. Now here
do both with perfect ease. Ny eyes are
strong and l am well. but | could neither
talk nor read in the English cars. Ameri,
can caIs would be very much better. There
are a few palace cars over there, but are not
popular as yet, and there is but faint be-
ginning Of hope of comfort for the engin
eers and stokers. For long time they have
been compelled TO do their arduOus work
exposed TO the elements, and even now they
have nothing but glass frame over them
oIsu in front, affording a most imperfect
protection against the moist, cold, chilly
climate, So they bundle up like so many
.nummies. Henry Ward Beecher.
